Nitzer Ebb's first recording, Basic Pain Procedure, is celebrating its 30th anniversary and will be reissued worldwide in June. The original version of the recording was a cassette-only release and was designed mostly for label interest, though fans were able to purchase it directly from the band at shows. Nitzer Ebb went on to record a whole new batch of songs for their debut album That Total Age, and with the exception of "The Home," which was reworked/retitled for Belief, the songs from Basic Pain Procedure were never reused or re-recorded. Last year Pylon released a remastered version of Basic Pain Procedure on vinyl, and now for the 30th anniversary the label is releasing it on CD and adding a live concert recording taken from a December 1983 U.K. gig. Basic Pain Procedure will be released worldwide on June 11th, though Amazon has a June 28th listing.

Nitzer Ebb uploaded a few tracks from the live album onto soundcloud and they are available to stream below. For more on the reissue, visit the official Nitzer Ebb website or Facebook page.

...hang the dj

...hang the dj is the headquarters for my old radio show Time Warp, which aired on 89X radio until March 2017. I am currently hosting a new, independent, internet-based version of Time Warp. New episodes post Sunday mornings around 9am ET. Stream the show archives here or here.

...hang the dj is a music blog serving as a complement to my streaming program. As such, mostly old school and classic alternative bands are featured, however occasionally new music from shoegaze, dream pop, psych, post-punk, and darkwave genres will be featured. If you have a worthy music project that fits one of these genres, feel free to get in touch via email.
